Wildcats Pride

After an eventful offseason, with the Golden State Warriors drafting former Davidson guard Stephen Curry in the first round of the NBA draft and oversea trips for the returning players and coaching staff, the Davidson College basketball team is getting tuned up for the new season.

The Wildcats recently released the roster for the upcoming season. Personnel that coach Bob McKillop hopes will keep the team at the top of the Southern Conference.

Below is the complete roster including three incoming freshmen in the form of #5 J.P. Kuhlman, #12 Nik Cochran and #15 Jake Cohen. Also joining the squad is Sophomore transfer, #40 Clint Mann, who will sit out the ‘09-’10 season in accordance with NCAA rules.

Now that Davidson’s 08/09 season is over, we have decided to reflect back on some of the thoughts we’ve had this year.

- Unfortunately lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same spot in consecutive years

- The Miami Heat may have picked up a more valuable player than they even realized last year

- Steph Curry can hit a shot from anywhere outside of the opponents 3-point line

- Liberty’s aggressive recruiting and a younger brother’s desire to blaze his own path will cause Davidson fans to always wonder ‘What if’

- If Frank Ben-Eze didn’t want to play basketball, he could have been an all-american in volleyball leading the nation in kills

- Apparently the playoff beard in Canada doesn’t just apply to hockey

- Will Archambault earned a starting spot either by repairing his troubled knees or by cutting his hair, we’ll never know.

- Steve Rossiter worked all year hitting jumpers from farther and farther out just so he could impress us by drilling his only 3 pointer in the last game of the year

- Ray Beltz might be in the running for team MVP

- Will Archambault has sharp elbows

- Nigeria’s basketball courts will be played with exclusively red and white shoes thanks to one of the coolest charities in the world

- The White Lobster is a good enough nickname to get you your own superfan, t-shirt and plenty of media attention

- Frisbee dogs are by far the best halftime show

- Ben Allison should play in Madison Square Garden every game

- Matt McKillop has the same tailor as his father

- The Southern Conference tournament, to put it as politically correct as possible, needs to be reworked so that DeJuan Blair doesn’t run over the conference.

- Apparently Ticketmaster now knows who Davidson is.

- Steph Curry and Queen were a match made in heaven

- Bob McKillop is actually capable of receiving a technical foul

- The triangle and two denial will not earn you a spot in the NCAA basketball hall of fame

- Thanks to the seniors Max Paulhus Gosselin, Andrew Lovedale and Can Civi

- Wait till next year
